Well, we did go to the zoo yesterday and to Burlington Coat Factory in
Syracuse. We had a good day except for getting a bit lost while we looked
for the zoo, we were beginning to think that they didn't really want people
to visit, it was that hard to find. By the time we got there I had a
splitting headache and was STARVING! I am one of those people that when I
have to eat I have to eat NOW! So we had yucky Burger King at the zoo and
there were tired, screaming kids all around me. I must admit my baby urges
waned a bit for about 15 minutes but by the time I ate my food, took some
tylenol, and moved away from the unhappy babies I felt better and once again
was very eager for October to arrive. It was nice to see all the kids and
families at the zoo together, I can't wait till we have a child to take
there, it is not quite as exciting when it's just two adults.
When we went to Burlington Coat Factory I was thrilled to see that they had
a huge baby section, I mean huge! Most stores have like 2-3 cribs to choose
from and 2-3 types of bedding etc but this place had like 20+ crib choices
and even more bedding choices, it was so cool. The stuff wasn't that
expensive either so that is definitely where we will go to get our nursery
furniture. They had this really cute Noah's Ark bedding that I think we are
going to go with, it would work for either sex and has moons and stars in
the background. Larry about had a heart attack when he saw how expensive
everything is. He couldn't believe some of the prices and was amazed when I
told him that they were actually pretty low. Larry was very patient with me
while I looked at and touched everything in the department. He's really
starting to get into the whole baby thing. We won't need to buy bureaus
because we bought two when we were in Maine in August visiting family. One
we will use as a changing table/dresser and the other as a regular dresser.
I refinished one already and it looks so good. They both wouldn't fit in the
car so one is still in Maine and will get brought back and refinished after
Thanksgiving, unless my mom comes to visit sooner and brings it with her (I
hope). They look so much nicer than the bureaus that the store was selling
to match the cribs, Larry was pretty pleased that our dresser purchase had
been a bargain and looked nicer too.
So that's the story of our weekend, today I have lots of laundry and reading
for class ahead of me, not much fun but those necessary evils. My first OB
appointment is a week from Thursday so I'll be starting to think of the
questions I'll want to ask her. Uh oh, housework and schoolwork are calling
my name. Till next time...
